Bangladesh’s former technical director Khaled Mahmud said on Sunday that he is ready to step down from BCB’s director post if he is given the head coach role on long term basis to avoid conflict of interest.
Mahmud said that he is quit from the BCB director’s post if board offers him the head coach role for a long term basis.
‘’I am ready to step down as BCB director if board offers me the role for a long term basis,’’ Mahmud told Cricbuzz on Sunday after conducting an intense batting session with Tamim Iqbal and Mohammad Mithun at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
Last time there was lot of talks regarding conflict of interest when I was appointed as the team director so I feel that if I am given the role of the head coach on long term basis it is better to step down as BCB director to avoid such criticism,’’ he said.
Look you cannot be a decision maker as well as be an employee of the board,’’ he said.
‘’When I am given the role of the head coach on long term basis I will certainly be an employee of the board and will be accountable to them.
If I am also a director than that will become a problem,’’ he said.
‘’Coaching is my passion and for that I am willing to sacrifice a lot of things,’’ he said who is currently the chairman of BCB game development.
Mahmud added that according to him the long term role implies until the next World Cup 2013 or at least till the next World Twenty20 in 2020 because he feels that he will need some time to make his plans as well as execute them.
BCB is expected to hold a board meeting in this month where it will be decided how they want to fulfill the void of Rhodes
